How to send a Y keystroke to dos command with a [YN} answer?

I am using the deltree command which expects the user to confirm with a Y or N.

I tried 'echo Y | deltree ....' but got a "The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe" error.

Is there another way?

+9  A: 

deltree /Y ...

/S = Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree.

/Q = Quiet mode, do not ask if OK to remove a directory tree with /S.

These options are not available. It seems it's a different deltree.
